conix, you won't find

"Reversing our path away from a new feudalism will require, among other things,
a rediscovery of belief in our basic values and what it means to be an American.
"

in your GOP today. Nor even in many conservatives.

conix, You make the odd decent post bemoaning the lack, and falling, of social mobility in America
yet you are all negative about a #3.5trn bill including many measures to create more social mobility.

"How America is reverting back to the feudal age
[...]
Martínez describes a society that, as in the Middle Ages, is “highly stratified, with little social mobility.” High prices make it all but impossible for anyone except the very affluent to own their homes. Workers in the gig economy, much less the “untouchables,” have little chance to improve their lot but struggle to barely pay their rent or are forced to sleep in their cars, on friend’s couches, or commute long distances from the outlying periphery.
"

Is it something like you have warm moments when you post articles as that, then when the moment passes your conservative ideology gets in the way?

Just wondering as it occurs to me there is a real disconnect. The thought hit me when i saw your post again just now.
